Growing up in Egypt, NAXÖ performed and produced in the finest fusion bands. He/They plays rock, electronic, jazz, blues and folk music. He/They has performed in clubs, theaters and festivals for a decade. Most recently, NAXÖ opened for "Hello Psychaleppo" at YallaPunk, a 3 day international festival in Philadelphia.

This project fuses missions, engages multiple platforms, creates an experience and outreach pedagogical presence that would not only de-stigmatize, but also to educate, empower and enlighten the public, and offer alternatives, new ideas of self-expression and solutions to channel MENA LGBTQIA+ perspectives and narratives.

As a healing practitioner, gender advocate and refugee activist, queerness, multiculturalism, and intersectionality are instrumental to his/their practice. NAXÖ's personal healing paths and self-inquiries have led to fantasy that inspires his/their complex sound. He/They is a sensual synesthete, his/their voice, art, and sculptures influence the dynamics of his/their woven musical compositions.

Fusion between "Folk Oriental/Middle Eastern" music and "EDM" most influenced by: Psy-trance, Dubstep and Folktronica.
You will be haunted by the strings, kanun, bouzouki and oriental percussion with groovy bass n' drums and melodic rhythms through atmospheric electronic sounds along piano and brass sections. This piece reflects the story of a stranger (me or maybe you too!) that began their journey between the seas and the skies, from the sun to the moon when everything had came to an end without a dream of nine gates. Sometimes, we can be strangers in life. Safe travels, enjoy! :)
